Soon the Normandy came out of FTL, ahead than they could see Eden Prime to say was a beautiful world would be an understatement. However, Hiccup forts were upon them meeting on that planet.

"How much time do we got?" he asked Nyreen.

"Twenty minutes," said Nyreen.

"Then were not going fast enough," said Hiccup. He then reached for the com link. "Fishlegs can we get a bit more oomph in the engines?"

"I'll see what I can do, but I don't know how much more she can take," said Fishlegs.

Hiccup look at Nyreen. "Punch it."

Nyreen nodded and flew the ship as fast as she could and certainly entered into the planet's atmosphere. Though, Hiccup knew it wouldn't be enough.

"I wish we can go faster, because at this rate were not going to make it before the Krogan."

"I know," said Nyreen. "Even if we can it doesn't mean that we'll get the leaders out in time. We just might end up dying with them all in battle."

"I've got player readings," said Asta. "About sixty-eight fighters flying in formation, from what I can tell it could be the Krogan army."

Then when they passed over cloud bank they saw them. There was a ton of Krogan fighters below them.

"There are twenty more players in that building," Asta pointed. Then they saw some kind of meeting hall in the distance and there were several Turian and Salarian ships docked by sided. "Most likely that the diplomats from the Turian and Salarian and some human soldiers. The two groups of players will make contact in fifty seconds."

Nyreen closer eyes. "We did make it after all." She then looked up at Hiccup. "Thanks for trying Hiccup, but this is far enough. I'm going to try and rescue Victus." She then placed the ship on autopilot and got to her feet. "Get out of here and head for the Citadel. We didn't get a hangout for long, but it was fun. Hope we meet again someday."

However, Hiccup's face was serious as he looked down at the ships. "Sorry, but running away from a fight isn't really my style."

Down in the meeting hall the human soldiers and Turian and Salarian diplomats just witnessed the Krogan ships descending down upon them. A few of the Krogan landed on the ground, including their general.

They prepare to fire and the three groups realise they will be up survive the barrage. Then suddenly, out of nowhere about six different aliens landed between them and the Krogan.

Hiccup took a step forward. "Krogan! Stand down!"

This bit of confusion through the Krogan in disarray and the human soldiers and Turian and Salarian were also confused. Then Victus recognised Nyreen.

"Nyreen, what is the meaning of this?" he asked.

Nyreen saluted. "It's a bit complicated sir, but that human there… believe it or not the fate of our species depend upon his next move."

Victus turned and looked at Hiccup. "I see."

"I want to talk to your general!" said Hiccup.

The Krogan general walked up and gazed down upon Hiccup. "What the hell is a human like you doing here?" He then noted his next mash crew. "And it's quite unusual crew you have. If you weren't human I would kill you right now, but seeing as you are and since you've been so brave I'll hear you out."

"My name is Commander Hiccup of the Normandy, I'm an ambassador from the Human Alliance. Since you on the offensive today I assume that you want a full on war against all our species."

Nyreen just stared at Hiccup dumbfounded, but placed on her best confident look when Victus and the Salarian diplomat looked at her.

The general look quite surprised. "The humans allied with the Turian's, huh." Then a smile appeared on his face. "And you're supposed to be there ambassador, but you haven't come here without a human guard?"

"My unit is formed by the ideal of species cooperation. I was originally being sent to discuss trade terms between the Turian and Salarian, but if you interrupt our talk you're going to feel some serious hurt. All of our species are going to team up and bring the fight to the Krogan."

"You're kidding me, right?" said the general. "You're all alone and you've got crappy gear so there's no way you could be anyone's ambassador."

Then suddenly three more figures landed on the ground out of nowhere. One was a Krogan while the other two were a pair Batarian, which were a of four-eyed bipeds lifeform.

"He's telling the truth!" said the Krogan.

Hiccup recognise that voice at once. It was Snotlout and by process of elimination the two Batarian had to be Ruffnut and Tuffnut.

"What is this?" said the general.

Hiccup managed to keep his composure. "It would seem as if this little meeting has got a little more interesting."

"The names Snotlout and I back this human up," said Snotlout.

"I've never heard of you," said the general. "And even if I did why would you support this human?"

"Because I say so," said Snotlout.

Ragnar sighed. "Always the diplomat."

The general laughed. "You've got guts, kids and I admire that, but you have no authority here."

"That's why I'm demanding a trial by combat," said Snotlout.

The Krogan lowered their weapons and talked amongst themselves. Apparently, whatever Snotlout had said seem to put them on edge.

"What's this trial by combat?" Heather asked.

Victus began to explain. "It's how the Krogan deal with disputes like honour, but it can also determine the rank of an individual. A challenging Krogan can challenge any other Krogan to trial by combat and if they win they gain their rank, but if they lose they are treated as outcasts."

"So, what you're saying is that Snotlout has just wrist everything on this one battle," Ragnar simplified.

Victus nodded. "Unfortunately."

"Let's make this quick," said the general flexing his muscles.

"This is bad," said Victus as the two Krogan began to size each other up.

"Why?" Nyreen asked.

"That General Wreav, have you heard of him?"

"Yeah, I know the name."

"He's younger brother of Wrex the Emperor of the Krogan. Their brothers in real life too. Wrex is the strongest Krogan and they say he's the strongest player. His brother on the other hand isn't a smart and strong, but he strong enough to take on over a hundred players at the same time."

"Oh no."

"Snotlout's taking a big gamble," said Ragnar grimly. "And there's nothing we can do."

The two Krogan stood there at the moment the sun exited from the clouds they charge at one another. They began punching one another taking any opening they could find, but for some reason Snotlout's attacks seem to do only do half the damage they normally would have.

"I thought Snotlout was stronger than that," said Eret.

"It's the Krogan Battle Armour bonus skill," said the Salarian diplomat. "Any damage the player takes wearing the armour is halved."

"You've got to be kidding," said Ruffnut as she and her brother joined them.

"Yeah, where can we find stuff like that?" Tuffnut asked.

Nyreen stared at Hiccup, who looked like he was having a massive headache. "Don't ask."

Despite the armour Snotlout wasn't backing down and took every opportunity he could find. Wreav kept on blocking the attacks and pushed Snotlout backwards.

"You're not half bad kid, but you're still out of my league," said Wreav.

Snotlout growled. "No one tells the Snotman that he is out of his league."

He then charged again and the two of them head-butted each other and it created quite the shock wave. Then the two kept on swinging their fists and all round them the other players watched.

"This won't end well," said Victus. "They both seem like equally skilled fighters, but Wreav's armour is far superior."

"Let's not count him out just yet," said Hiccup.

"I don't know, Hiccup," said Ragnar. "It doesn't look too good for Snotlout."

Wreav then punched Snotlout hard in the gut and sent him a few yards backwards. Then before Snotlout could recover Wreav rammed into him and pinned him against a cliff. Snotlout did his best trying to break free, but Wreav was too strong.

"That may have done it," said Victus.

However, Snotlout did something very surprising, he took a deep breath in. This expanded his chest and pushed Wreav backwards and he took the opportunity to break free from his grip.

"You're only delaying the inevitable," said Wreav.

"We'll see about that," said Snotlout.

Then somehow Snotlout charges him at a much faster speed than he did before. Wreav tried to block his punch, but Snotlout quickly spun and elbowed him in the face. Then he performed an uppercut and performed a sidekick.

Then he slammed Wreav against the cliff and now it seemed he had the upper hand. Wreav try to break free, but then Snotlout spun around and toss in writing to the air. He then activated his jet pack and punched Wreav so hard in the chest that his fist literally went right through him.

Everyone just stared at Snotlout in utter silence and when he landed on the ground the Krogan went to their knees indicating that he was the new general.

A few minutes later they were on the Normandy and using the holograms contact the Krogan Emperor, who didn't seem to sorry to see his brother being defeated in battle.

"So, my little brother finally lost a battle," said Wrex.

"You don't seem to upset about it," Hiccup noted.

"Bah, he was always strong headed and didn't listen to a thing I say."

Hiccup looked at Snotlout, who seemed to be enjoying his new rank. "I don't think your situation has improved."

Wrex shrugged. "He might be more tolerable than my brother."

Victus took a step forward. "Where does this leave us may I ask?"

Wrex looked as if he was in deep thought and a Krogan appeared whispering in his ear. He then looked at Hiccup with extreme curiosity.

"One of my soldiers is as told me something interesting," he said.

"And what would that be?" Hiccup asked.

A small smile appeared on Wrex face. "He informs me that he knows you from DAO."

Victus looked at Hiccup his eyes widened. "You're a survivor from Dragon Age Online."

"He's not just a survivor, sir," said a Turian.

Nyreen blinked. "Garrus, I do know you would be here."

"I came to guard the Primarch, but I didn't expect an entire Krogan army descending down upon us."

"You do know each other," said Hiccup.

"Hiccup, this is my older brother, Garrus and Garrus this is—"

"I know who he is," said Garrus. "I served under him. It's been a long time Warden Commander."

Then there was utter silence, but there was nothing compared to what was going inside in Nyreen's head. She just stared at Hiccup in complete bewilderment, he was the Warden Commander that her brother had talked so much about.

"I was there when you challenge Alvin to single combat I watched both you and Lady Astrid die," said Garrus. "I have to say sir I did not expect to see you alive."

Hiccup turned and looked at him. "Astrid is alive as well, but she's one of the three hundred players that are still in a coma. In fact that the entire reason why I'm here."

He then began to explain his entire situation to everyone on board Victus, Wrex and the Salarian diplomat just stared at him. Hiccup wondered for a moment if they thought he was crazy or something.

"You know what makes me believe that story is because it's so far-fetched," said Wrex.

"Indeed, I find it extremely hard to believe and phone you know that what makes me believe it even more," said Victus.

"Listen attacking the Citadel with only one army isn't going to be enough to get past the Reapers. The only way we succeed is if we unite our forces together." He then looked at Victus and Salarian diplomat. "That is the reason why you agree to this treaty, isn't it?"

"Indeed," Victus nodded.

"Well, you can count on the Krogan to assist you," said Wrex. "Creating again at supposed to be impossible to complete is ridiculous and if this is the only way to complete the game I am all for it. Even if we are not able to control the Galaxy."

Victus then began to wonder how the Krogan knew about the treaty and why Hiccup and his crew showed up. "That reminds me, how did you know about the treaty?" he asked.

"I think I can answer that," said Nyreen.

They then began to explain the coup that Saren attempted and are backed up by Wrex. "I see," said Victus rubbing his chin. "I could tell there was something off about Saren's attitude recently. He seems so irritated."

"Irritated? About what?" said Nyreen puzzled.

"My guess, he was dissatisfied about the state of things, that in terms of power he could accept that we had fallen behind the Krogan. Power is very important to a man like Saren and not just those abilities and character stats, but also as a player. He craves power."

"Yeah, but even so why would you turn spy for the Krogan."

"We had a deal," said Wrex. He then looked at Victus. "You heard that rumour about the 5.0 update that's going to be released soon? Rumour has it that they'll be putting in a reincarnation system."

Nyreen's eyes widened. "No way."

"I made him an offer, bring me the head of your leader and I'll reincarnate you as a Krogan." He then saw the look that Victus was giving him. "Come on, you would have done the same thing."

"So what now?" Nyreen asked.

"Well, he suddenly failed his part of the agreement if he was so easily followed," said Wrex.

"Okay, but what will you do sir?" Nyeen asked Victus.

Victus turned his gaze upon Hiccup. "Commander, do you mind if I use your holo?"

"Go right ahead," said Hiccup.

Saren was in his office taking a drink of wine, no doubt his plan had succeeded and he was soon be rewarded by the Krogan Emperor. He can only imagine the look on Victus' face and wished he was there to see it.

Then suddenly a hologram of Victus appeared. "Saren!" it said.

Saren drop the glass when he saw it. "V-Victus?"

"Nice to see you too," said Victus. "Unfortunately I'm still alive."

"How—uh… I mean what happened at the meeting?"

Victus narrowed his eyes. "It went very well. There's still the matter of signing the treaty, though. By the way, we had an unexpected guest."

Saren gulped. "What guest?"

"His name is General Wreav, or should I say ex-general, he's been beaten in single combat. Also I've had a nice chat with the Emperor and he sends his regards."

Saren eyes widened and he recognised two figures right behind Victus. It was Hiccup and Nyreen. "Nyreen. So, that's it those boneheaded dinosaurs." He then took a deep breath and gave Victus a confident look. "Well, it's your move Victus are you going to fee me or maybe you want to take away my command? If so remember without me running you're militarily your rule won't last very long."

Victus narrowed his eyes. "Your confidence is inspiring, but your oversized ego is not. Garrus is more than capable of replacing you and I was planning on granting you your request you make them. You can't stand being a Turain you're free to go."

Saren's eyes widened. "Wait, what?"

Victus opened his menu and sent a message straight over to Saren. He looked at it and saw that Victus was banishing him.

"Hold on? Are you crazy?!" he yelled. "Me? You're banishing me?"

"I'm letting you live to wonder the neutral zones as a renegade. With any luck you'll find something there that will occupy your precious time."

"You bastard!" Saren yelled.

Next second he vanished into thin air.

Victus then turned his attention on Hiccup and Nyreen. "You have my thanks, you have prevented a war that would have devastated both species."

"Indeed," said Salarian diplomat. "And as payment you will have the support of both armies in your attempt to take on the Citadel."

"Same with the Krogan," said Wrex. He then laughed. "It will be interesting if nothing else."

"I'll see if I can make contact with other former Grey Wardens," said Garrus. "I think they would all like a crack at the Citadel if Lady Astrid is trapped inside. They might be able to push the other species into helping us."

"Every little helps, Garrus," said Hiccup shaking his hand.

Nyreen turned her attention upon Victus and saluted. "Sir, with your permission I wish to stay on with the Commander."

"I understand," Victus nodded. "It will take some time for us to gather our forces, but it may take the maximum of two days to arrange everything."

"I can't wait that long," said Hiccup.

"We could try heading over to Ilos and set up a base of operation for the invasion," Ragnar suggested.

"That would speed things up with the invasion," said Victus.

"Then will meet you at Ilos," said Hiccup.

"Then we'll meet you on the battlefield."

Once the Turian and Salarians let the Normandy, Nyreen quickly took a seat in the cockpit and the ship took off. She still couldn't believe that Hiccup was the Warden Commander that saved her brother.

She was now looking at him with a new light and didn't know what to say. She felt terribly embarrassed after all those harsh things she said and he wasn't exactly as she pictured. She pictured some hard-core warrior with rippling muscles, but instead she got a skinny commander who was more interested about saving his girlfriend than anything else.

"Taking the sudden realisation pretty hard way," said Ragnar as he entered the cockpit.

"Why didn't you tell me he was the Warden Commander?" Nyreen asked.

"Because it didn't seem relevant at the time and you didn't ask," said Ragnar.

Nyreen glared at him. "You're lucky I have to pilot the ship or you be finding yourself in the med-bay."

"Don't blame Daddy, he's just really worried about Mummy," said Asta as she flew in.

"I suppose I can understand, I felt entirely useless when my brother was trapped in DAO," said Nyreen. That's one of the main reasons why she decided to carry on travelling with Hiccup, because she felt like she owed it to him and this was the best way she could repay that debt.

"I can see the Mass Relay," said Ragnar.

Nyreen looked and saw he was right and began punching in coordinates to Ilso. "Next stop, Ilso."

They then entered into FTL heading straight towards the final destination.

Meanwhile, Astrid was laying on a bed and decided that now was the time to act. She was confident that Hallson in a meeting with her uncle and that this was the best opportunity to attempt an escape.

She ran over to the keypad and began inputting the code. "81132329." Then the door opened and she began to walk through it. "Hiccup, I promise you I won't give up."

She then made her way down the corridor in the hopes to find a way to escape this space station and find the man she loved.
